It depends on what he want to do with the key. If he eventually needs the key to encrypt a message using gpg, the fingerprint approach saves a lot of disk space and voids importing a key right before encrypting to it. BTW, gpg has all the infrastructure to add another storage backend, for example a DB backend. In fact there used to be a gdbm backend once. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
